Ĉiu plus a time word plus -e makes one word.

How It Works

Time wordEvery ...Meaning
tago (day)ĉiutageevery day
mateno (morning)ĉiumateneevery morning
semajno (week)ĉiusemajneevery week
jaro (year)ĉiujareevery year

The words are built like lunde (on Mondays) and tage (in the daytime). With ĉiu- in front, the word covers every one of those times. They are adverbs, so they never take -j. In the same way ĉiumonate means every month. These words fit habits and regular plans.

You can put the word before or after the verb: Ni lernas ĉiutage and Ĉiutage ni lernas both work.
